  • the fixation is done by a Displacement of the corresponding locking element, so that it interacts with its counterpart.
  • the snap connection of a Cam, a nose or the like and a one corresponding counter-form having recess is with respect to the Recess arranged aligned so that the two just then snap into each other when the off Threaded bolt and threaded bush existing threaded connection when screwed together in their screwed position arrives.
  • an elastic Transition when setting the threaded bolt in the Threaded bushing be provided with an elastic abutment
  • an elastic abutment For example, in the form of a rubber, either the Tightening torque dampens and / or widens the area in which is the threaded bolt in the threaded bushing sets. This area affects both the axial offset as well as the radial offset of the threaded bolt opposite the threaded bush, thereby increasing the tolerance the fixing of the cam in the recess can be achieved can.
  • a handle device include, such as an operating lever, a Gripping surface or the like. By pressing the Handhabe addressed the lock is released and the Tool can again from the extension device be separated.
  • the handle device can be designed to spring-loaded or train yourself to be good To facilitate separation process.
  • either the cam and / or the recess be axially displaceable, to make the locking action of the snap connection or cancel again.
  • This is preferably done by means of one against the force of an elastic return means, in particular a spring, sliding locking sleeve.
  • an elastic return means in particular a spring, sliding locking sleeve.
  • At the locking sleeve can either the cam or the Recess be formed.
  • second locking device in the form of interacting Cams and recesses, e.g. to strengthen the Locking is formed. In this case it is advantageous if the two detents are formed are that their cams are assigned only clearly in the each associated recess can engage.
  • the Cam on the locking sleeve when screwing the Threaded bolt axially displaced into the threaded bushing Act when screwing the Threaded bolt axially displaced into the threaded bushing Act.
  • the cam can both on the locking sleeve be arranged as well as the corresponding counterpart.
  • a stop provides the restriction freedom of movement.
  • the stopper is preferably spring-loaded formed in the form of a clamping pin. This makes a simple mounting of the locking sleeve, for example, at the extension device allows.
  • Locking can be a locking means in its operation also perform a radial offset and in its counterpart intervention.
  • the cam and / or the recess of Snap connection can additionally be an oblique edge or Have surface. This makes it possible, the locking effect the snap connection with the help of the oblique edge or Easier to release surface under the action of a turning force, however, it must be ensured that the locking force is still big enough, so a flawless Handling of the paint roller is guaranteed.
  • Another embodiment may be characterized, for example be realized that the recess as a groove or hole is trained.
  • the groove may have the advantage over the hole have that they can be designed around the circumference, so that As a result, larger manufacturing tolerances are allowed.
  • the Hole may have the advantage over the groove that it if necessary, it can be made simpler.
  • Figure 1 shows a threaded connection 1 between a Tool 2 and an extension device 4.
  • the tool 2 is a paint roller whose opposite the strap for the paint roller Front side of the handle a threaded bush 6 is attached.
  • a threaded bolt 5 of the extension device. 4 be screwed in until the Extension device 4 firmly connected to the tool 2 is.
  • a handle device 12 is formed, by means of which they turn axially in a direction of the arrow 10a can be withdrawn to the right, so that the Engagement of the cam 8 in the recess 9 is canceled, after which the extension device 4 again in opposite direction relative to the tool twisted and can be screwed on.
  • the figure 2 shows basically the same structure of a Threaded connection 1 with threaded bolt 5 and threaded bushing 6 and a lock in the form of a positive Snap connection 7.
  • the difference between the figures 1 and 2 is that in Figure 1, a tool 2 of the Extension device 4 is received and in the figure 2 a tool adapter 3. This tool adapter 3 expands the possibility of variation of the threaded connection 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows further details of the threaded connection.
  • the locking sleeve 10 is not relative to the longitudinal axis of the extension device 4 at Screwing the threaded bolt 5 into the threaded bushing 6 twisted, this has a rotation 13.
  • These Anti-rotation 13 is between one in one Circlip 15 arranged slot 14 and one in this Slot engaging rib 16 is formed. Of the Circlip 15 is rotatably with the Extension device 4 connected.
  • the locking sleeve 10 can therefore only in the axial direction by moving the rib 16 in the slot 14 against the Spring force of the spring 11 are moved, which is in turn against the radially in the extension direction. 4 used, spring-loaded clamping pin 17 is axially supported.
  • the locking sleeve 10 additionally has two stops 18, 19, wherein the stop 18 relative to the clamping pin 17 as on the locking sleeve frontally arranged, inside pointing flange is formed.
  • the stop 19 is at the this opposite end face of the locking sleeve 10th relative to the retaining ring 15 turn as radially formed inside flange. The locking sleeve can thus axially between these two stop positions be moved.
  • the two snap connections 7 are designed so that each cam 8, caused by each different Radial distances to the longitudinal axis of the threaded connection, only in the recess 9 associated with it can engage.
  • FIG 4 shows this connection now in locked, so assembled state. Again, it can be seen that the upper snap connection 7, as described in Figure 3, itself differs from the lower snap connection 7.
  • FIG. 5 does not show this threaded connection cut view in angled top view.
  • Well recognizable in turn is the formation of the lock by the positive snap connection 7 by means of the cam 8, which is engaged in its associated recess 9.
  • FIGS 6a and 6b show as partial sections more Possibilities of an elastic snap connection, in which in turn, a cam 8 in a corresponding recess 9th locks. It is here compared to the previous embodiment However, provided that the lock by twisting the Cam on the surface of the recess associated with the recess Counterpart takes place. This must have the cam having Arresting temporarily against the recess. 9 having locking element are elastically deformed until the two interlock by snapping. To one Releasing this lock to facilitate pointing in these both embodiments 6a and 6b, both the cam 8 as Also, the recess 9 each have an inclined surface 20. This inclined surface 20 refers to the cross section of illustrated embodiment. Of course these are two opposing, obliquely arranged surfaces that the restoring force when loosening the lock is reduced so much that it is easy to release is and yet when using the tool this flawlessly secures.
  • the snap connection is formed so that the cam 8 radially inwardly in the Snap recess, and as shown in the figure 6b snaps this cam radially outward into him associated recess 9 a.
  • FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment in which the Cams 8 radially inward into its associated recess snaps.
  • a handling device 12th arranged from the radially opposite side of inside the cam presses outwards, so that the Lock is released.
  • the Edge 20 associated side of the recess 9 rounded, so that the release of the lock is facilitated.
  • FIGS 8, 8a and 8b show a further embodiment a lock for a threaded connection.
  • Threaded bolt 6 is arranged, which optionally from a Sleeve 22 may be surrounded to a more user-friendly Trainee training.
  • the front side are on the threaded bolt.
